Actually the East Coast is probably the best place to be if you're playing SBG in America. If you are close to D.C., then you can connect with the D.C. Hobbit League. They organize alot of big events throughout the year and they have a really big group. They actually just hosted thier biggest event at the NOVA Open Convention in September where the GBHL and OSBGL also went.

Other than that, there are groups in North Carolina, Massachusetts and Virginia that I know of whom also participate in the DCHL events. If you want, you can look for new events on www.dchobbitleague.com but they seem to have not updated it yet since NOVA so you may have to wait a bit or just contact them.

We are currently attempting to get something going with Devin from the DCHL for something in fredricksburg in November. Alternatively if you can get to Richmond our group plays every thursday but not always LoTR. Just give us a heads up beforehand and we can make it happen.Jobu
